And he has been flogging that nag for decades.

He might not be at deaths door, but he is in the corridor and none of that matters.

It’s all about the Judiciary. It always has been.

That is the only reason the Republicans have hitched their wagon to Trumpy.

He will say yes to any unqualified, fucking dipshit, Christian fundy fuckhead they put in front of him, and that’s how it has been going so far. McConnell has Ramrodded through a shit-ton of these ultra conservative judges and as a result, has stacked the Federal court bench such that it will take decades to undo.

McConnell and the folks backing him have known for ages that they are on the wrong side of the American demographic shift, and Trumpy is the president they have been waiting for since Nixon.

Trump's declaration that they are counting on the courts to call the election on Nov. 3, is the plan, and now everyone is on board - the Senate led by Mitch, the rwing media led by Limbaugh, and no doubt Fox News will chime in - to facilitate it.

It's encouraging, however, that Biden has a team of hundreds of lawyers to prevent the election from being stolen....
